Kitamura Holdings Co., Ltd. was founded in April 2019 with the mission of becoming the world’s leading photo-life company.
Our Group boasts a significant market share in various photo-related service areas, from Kitamura Co., Ltd., which owns Japan’s largest network of specialty photo shops, such as Kitamura Camera and Studio Mario; to Shimauma Print, Inc., which runs the online photo printing service Shimauma Print; Photocreate Co., Ltd., which operates online event photography services utilizing professional photographers, such as All Sports Community and Snap Snap; LaboNetwork Co., Ltd., which wholesales photo products; and more. The Group also has two laboratory companies that serve as photo-related production sites, making it one of the largest producers of imaging products in the country.
Our ability to provide the best service in various photo- and video-related areas, in terms of both quality and scale, is the driving force behind our goal to become the world’s leading photo-life company.
Since Kitamura Camera was founded in Kochi Prefecture in 1934, we have worked consistently within photo culture to earn the trust of our customers. We hope that by giving shape to our customers’ precious moments, memories, and remembrances through photos and video, we will fulfill and connect not only our customers, but those around them and people in general. This is the kind of society that we as a company hope to realize.
